Tiara of Princess Eldabeth (Enchanted Crown):

During the height of the Elven Kingdom, there was a Princess named Eldabeth.
She is widely believed to have been one of the most beautiful elves even
born and stories tell that she rivaled the Gods in her beauty. Tales also
tell that she was extremely spoiled and vain. It is also told that she wanted
to find ways to make herself even more attractive. In spite of her being
spoiled, she could be extremely charming when she wanted to be and could
charm just about anyone especially males. She was able to charm her father's
alchemist into creating a magic item that would create an aura which would
enhance her charms even further. The King's Alchemist created a magical
Tiara, or slim crown, for her which many consider to be his greatest creation
even though he created many other magic items. Eventually, she met a hero
whom she decided to marry. They had a family and Eldabeth passed the magic
crown to her daughter. For generations, the Tiara was passed from mother
to daughter until the Elf and Dwarf War. The lands which the family lived
in was threatened to be overrun and the family was forced to flee. The
family was robbed by bandits and the crown was lost. It was not seen for
several hundred years but when it reemerged, it was in the possession of
Western Empire Nobles. Since then, the Tiara has been stolen several times
by thieves and has been own by several Western Empire Ladies. There are
several Elven families with connections to the old Royal line who would
like to acquire the crown. The present whereabouts of the Tiara is unknown
since it was stolen from a Western Empire Lady about thirty years ago.
There are also stories that the crown has a curse which effects anyone
other than the Elven Family who it belongs to. All recent owners of the
crown seem to have had very bad luck.

The Tiara of Princess Eldabeth is constructed from white gold. The basic
design of the Tiara is a slim band with the pattern of Ivy leaves running
along the band. The center piece of the crown is a large, twenty carat,
flawless diamond which is incredibly clear. The cut is such that it glows
in a rainbow of colors when it catches the light. On either side of the
main diamond are about half the size of the main diamond, actually twelve
carats, and are just as flawless. Surrounding the large diamonds are smaller
blue diamonds, about half a carat each, which are square cut. The slim
crown is enchanted so that it will magically adjust to fit different wearers.

The magical crown is designed to create an aura which enhance both the
physical beauty and mental affinity of the wearer. In addition to the Tiara
enhancing beauty and charisma, the wearer also has the ability to cast
the spells of Charismatic Aura and Charm up to three times per day each.
Because of the ability of a wearer to use the Tiara to command others,
it is greatly desired by females who wish to gain power over others especially
nobles. This is in spite of the possibility of a curse.
